      1. What is the problem that your team is facing?

      • We are experiencing difficulty in managing and troubleshooting LoadBalancer services in OpenShift clusters deployed on Google Cloud.
      • When a LoadBalancer service is created in OpenShift, it automatically provisions a Google Cloud LoadBalancer with a randomly generated name.
      • These names are not easily traceable back to the originating OpenShift service, which complicates debugging and operational tasks.

      2. What is the nature and description of the request?

      • We are requesting the ability to customize or influence the naming convention of Google Cloud LoadBalancers that are automatically created by OpenShift. 
      • We would like to define a name or at least apply a prefix to the generated name to make it easier to identify and correlate with the corresponding OpenShift LoadBalancer service.

      3. What are your expectations for this feature ?

      • Ability to specify a custom name or prefix for the LoadBalancer resource created in Google Cloud.
      • Improved traceability between OpenShift LoadBalancer services and their corresponding cloud infrastructure.

      4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

      • Operational Efficiency: Easier identification of resources reduces time spent during incident response and debugging.
      • Resource Management: Helps in organizing and managing cloud resources more effectively.

      5. What is the business impact, if any, if this request will not be made available?

      • There is no immediate business impact but may arise potential delays in incident resolution due to difficulty in identifying the correct resources.
